General Strike in Greece

BBC News: Reports that a 48 hour General Strike has started in Greece. The aim of the strike is to prevent the austerity package of the Greek Government. If your Greek you should be out peaceful protesting the austerity package of the Greek Government, the economic package of the Government is not about saving Greece its about saving the banks of Germany and France. The Unions should bring Greece to its knees, force the Greek Government out of the Euro, and save Greece for future generations, otherwise Greece will be pawned to save others, while the Greek people are flushed down the toilet by their own Government.

Obama and 2012

RCP: Reports on its latest average of the polls for the job performance of President Obama, the latest snapshot has Obama on 47.6% Approval and 47.1% Disapproval. It is now late June 2011, so POTUS has some time before he really has to worry about the polls, but with the withdrawal statement on Afghanistan from Obama and the release of oil from the strategic reserve the Oval would have expect a bounce in the polls, nothing so far, in fact the Oval has gone down of late in the Gallup and Rasmussen Report Poll, thus Obama needs the economy to turn around and fast by the end of 2011, if not Obama will be charismatic Jimmy Carter, a one term President.

Greece Defaults = Blog Call

Greece in the Eye of the Storm = EURO

Telegraph: Reports that the Greek Defence Minister, Panos Beglitis has stated if the Parliament in Athens does not pass the austerity package then Greece faces a catastrophe. This is emotional blackmail of the first order folks, Greece will not fall apart if the Greek Parliament rejects the demands of the EU/IMF, the Sun will come up the following day, the only losers would be the Greek Government and the banks for France and Germany. If the Parliament in Athens does pass the package its cutting the throat of the Greece to get out of this mess, no real thinking person thinks that Greece will not default, Greece will be back for a third bail out next year, Greece is a busted flush folks, the only people who think Greece should remain in the Euro is France and Germany, and that is to protect their banks, not for the benefit of Greece. Time for the Greek MPs to stand up for Greece or dishonour the Greek name by voting for this package.

Arrest Gaddafi = ICC

BBC News: Reports that the International Criminal Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of Colonel Gaddafi on charges of crimes against humanity. Well folks, the Mad Dog has two choices NOW, either win the fight against NATO or leave Libya. The Allies of UK, US and France cant be seen to do a deal with suspected war criminal, thus the Allies have only one aim, the removal of Gaddafi either through his fleeing or Gaddafi dead, either through NATO bombing or taken out by his own side. It can be argued that former Labour PM Tony Blair must really wish he had not visited Gaddafi in Libya, with Iraq and Libya one has to really question the judgement of Blair when it comes to International Affairs.
